Exam NCP-AII Topic 1 Question 264 Discussion

Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCP-AII exam
Question #: 264
Topic #: 1
You are configuring a BlueField-2 DPU for link aggregation (bonding) with two 25GbE ports. After configuring the bond interface, you notice that traffic is not being distributed across both links. What are the two most likely causes of this issue? (Select TWO)

Suggested Answer: B,E Vote an answer

Bonding requires compatible configurations on both the server (DPU) and the switch. If the switch doesn't support the bonding mode, traffic won't be distributed correctly. Also, the speed and duplex settings must match on all interfaces in the bond for it to function properly. Mismatched MTU can cause packet fragmentation and performance issues but is less likely to prevent traffic distribution entirely. While ALB mode and ARP monitoring can impact load balancing, they're not the primary suspects. Firewalls might block traffic, but it is less related to the DPU setup.
